Quick questrion Nikolaus, Your ISP is Copper.Net right? http://www.copper.net/FAQ.aspx#17 What operating systems does Copper.net support? Copper.net is compatible with all mainstream operating systems. We recommend and can offer technical support on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000/NT, XP, Vista and Apple Mac OS 8 or greater. Copper.net is also a good inexpensive option for AOL(R) bring-your-own-access and Web TV. You have many things that look good, making the agrm-2008??? code satisfy 11c11040 chipset, Your modem dials out, but ends up pulling out, add a line Auto DNS = yes to wvdial.conf file, or If you know ahead of time the Namservers of Copper.Net add them to /etc/resolv.conf for instance the ones I use are [olivares@localhost Documents]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 66.201.0.203 nameserver 66.94.120.9 [olivares@localhost Documents]$ Try to find out your nameservers or the line Auto DNS = yes and report back.
